Request your November mail-in ballot application NOW. When your ballot arrives, take some precautionary measures:

•If you have to mail it in, do it as soon as early voting begins in your state, or at least by October 23rd.

•If you are able to get to your city/county election office, drop off your ballot when early voting begins.

•Check with your city/county to see where they accept hand-delivered mail-in ballots today and make a plan!

My brother mailed his primary ballot July 24 and it had not been received by primary day (August 11), so he had to vote in person by provisional ballot. His wife’s ballot, sent the same day as his, was received.

This will be a very chaotic election. Do what you can to ensure your vote is counted. Spread the word!!

Who's convinced by Republican arguments about fraud from mail-in voting , declining mail volumes, cost-cutting to save the USPS, or any other claims about the service? No one, not even the trumputin cult. This is voter disenfranchisement, is a felony, and is being perpetrated by the president*, and no one in Congress is stopping it.

SO INFURIATING. And we all watch what is happening and can do NOTHING. Dems in Congress can do nothing too?! UGH. There is such a good GOOD chance Trump will steal the election one way or another.

Amee, I read today on Twitter they are removing boxes in Manhattan, too. I am sure this is taking place all over the US. Nancy Pelosi and Shumer released a joint statement about this sabotage, but honestly, is there anything we can even do legally to stop this from happening?

I know that DeJoy is scheduled for a hearing on Sept 17th, but the USPS could be completely dismantled by then. The troops in Portland was horrifying to me, but this is downright insanity.
